Well isn’t this just lovely. A Korean Shenmue fan going by the name of NoconKid has recreated an area of Yokosuka from Shenmue in glorious high definition. Check out the 2 videos showcasing the area as well as the arcade newly kitted out with a variety of classic SEGA arcade games:

Doesn’t it just tug at the heartstrings? More importantly, doesn’t it make you yearn for a HD port of Shenmue? One can dream.

Well here’s an unexpected announcement! The HD re-imagining of Castle of Illusion which was previously exlusive to PSN, XBLA and PC is now available for iOS devices! Check out the launch trailer below:

Castle of Illusion for iOS is available to download now and is priced £6.99 in the UK app store.

SEGA have uploaded the following teaser video which clearly hints at the heavily rumoured Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse re-release:

The trailer mentions a Summer 2013 release date but more interesting is that it uses all new assets like the previously leaked “box art”. Could this be a HD remake and not a simple re-release of the Mega Drive original?

Remember when the Brazilian ratings board outed the existence of a Castle of Illusion re-release? Well the game still hasn’t been officially announced but now we have the XBLA box art courtesy of Lifelower on Twitter.

Interestingly, the box art is completely new artwork which may suggest this is more than a simple re-release of the Mega Drive original. Could a true HD remaster be in the works?

How’s this for left-field? The recently announced RetroN 4 console is a hybrid console that allows you to play NES, SNES, Mega Drive and Gameboy Advance cartridges on one system. The console is also equipped with a HDMI output and supports both NTSC and PAL cartridges.

The console’s developer Hyperkin is expected to make a full announcement on March 23rd at the Midwest Gaming Classic trade show in Wisconsin.

The developer’s previous console (the RetroN 3) is pictured above and already available. This console allows you to play NES, SNES and Mega Drive cartridges, but only offers S-video or composite video output.

The game launches on March 14th and the first 2 missions will be a free download. Also added is the option to purchase the remaining 6 levels in packs 2 for $2.99 or you can grab the lot at the special bundle priced of $4.99. There are no UK price listings at this time.

It also appears that High Voltage Software will be self-publishing the game this time and SEGA have no involvement in this HD re-release.
